ABOUT KUNDASANG WAR MEMORIAL

 While Kundasang is a mere transit stop to those visiting Kinabalu National Park, we wish to highlight several notable points of interests around town

Kundasang War Memorial - Lest We Forget

The Kundasang War Memorial was established as a tribute to World War II prisoners of war who died during the Sandakan Death Marches in 1945. At the time of the marches, 1787 Australians and 641 British prisoners died at, or between, Sandakan and Ranau. Only 6 Australian soldiers survived the war.

In 1962, the Memorial was erected with a competition winning entry design by resident architect J.C. Robinson. Within lies the interlocking Australian Garden, English Garden, and Borneo Garden to commemorate all of the Allied soldiers' homelands
